Devita Solar Protective Moisturizer SPF 30+


This is a great daily moisturizer for the summer time!
This may be my new favourite morning moisturizer :)

My Skin: Combination/oily and sometimes dehydrated

Pros:
☆ absorbs pretty quickly into the skin
☆ very lightweight, when I first used it, it reminded me of light whipped cream cheese haha
☆ matte finish on the skin when absorbed
☆ reasonably priced ($20-25)
☆ good 75ml of product!
☆ has a considerably good amount of sun protection! SPF30+
☆ kind of smells like almond tofu >> is it just me?
☆ small, compact packaging, great for travel!

Cons:
☆ sometimes, it leaves a tiny drop(not even) of dried product from the
top of the cap... it reminds me of dried glue but it can be blended away
☆ not easily accessible (in stores)... I bought mine on iherb.com

Active Ingredient:
Zinc oxide 19%

Ingredients:
Aloe barbadensis* (aloe vera gel), purified water (aqua),
capric/caprylic triglycerides (derived from coconut oil), glycerin (vegetable),
hyaluronic acid (vegan source), glyceryl stearate SE (derived from vegetable oil),
stearic acid, lecithin phospholipid, tocopherol (vitamin E), allantoin,
vitis vinifera (grape) seed extract.

Would I buy it again?
Yes, especially for the summer time. I don't think I would use this for the winter time.
I'm not sure if it will be hydrating enough, since it leaves an apparent matte finish.

Naruko Defense BB Sunscreen SPF50++++


I've been looking for a sunscreen with a higher SPF.
I wanted something with a light coverage and if you have
clear to good skin, then this BB sunscreen is for you. This
BB Sunscreen will not cover any post acne marks. I noticed
that it helped to control the oil on my face throughout the day.
This makes a great primer and sunscreen in one. It also helped
to even out my skin a little, making it seem a bit brighter.

This sunscreen will probably only work for fair-light skin tones.
It has a pink tint and is a bit watery at first (Aqua being the first
ingredient in the product). The coverage is very sheer... only you
would notice the difference :p

Packaging
It comes in a small and slim tube, which is great for travel.
I don't like products that are bulky and huge with only 30ml
of product >< they take up room and is sometimes unnecessary.

Will I buy this again?
Maybe in the summer... I'm still trying to look for a more natural option,
with more physical sunscreen as to chemical sunscreens, but this is a pretty
good primer for my skin and have been loving it so far for the past 2-3 weeks :)

Ingredients:
(Active) Zinc Oxide 2.5%, Ethylhexl Methoxycinnamate 2.5%, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane 1.2%, Benzophenone-3 1%

Officinalis Extract, Chamomila Recutita (Matricria) Flower Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Narcissus Tazetta L.Var
Chinensis Roem, Aminopropyl Kojyl Phosphate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Butylene Glycol,

Physicians Formula Mineral Powders


I decided to try some press and loose powders from physicians formula =] I asked the beauty consultant for some advice for coverage and colour because I really can't tell >< I was going to get the translucent light powder but she said it was too light for me and suggested the buff beige or beige colours =] I hope it goes on well and gives me the coverage I want >< I'm going to be trying the pressed powder tomorrow =]

I also got sunscreen -.- I never wear sunscreen but I don't want to get tanned lol and a lighter for my candles =] my friend gave me 2 sets of gel diamond shaped candles and they are supposed to be placed in water... how beautiful is that <3
